No longer national networks. Now ESPN, lifestyle and others I do not recognize.

1) National Geographic; 2) Lifetime; 3) TLC; 4) BTN; 5) ESPN; 6) CNN (with commercials); 7) MTV; 8) Fox Soccer; 9) HDNET Movies; 10) HBO2; 11) ERT World; 12) ATN Bangla; 13) ANT Greek

Cyberham -- thank you for all you do to contribute to the board. I receive all that you have posted on 61.5. As I said before, I think that there are a lot of promotions going on -- which is good.

NB to my last night's comment?

What kind of Receiver / USB / tuner card do you need to pick-up the 21500 or 22500 TP's? Az Box / Manhattan / Genpix? etc.

I only have one TV at the present time that I can watch FTA satellite / OTA or Rogers. I would like to have the option of using my computer -- single RG6 cable to it (nothing fancy).

I don't discover most of this myself (sometimes I do by accident). But I always personally confirm before posting anything. If I can catch with my simple equipment, then many can.

I have no experience with catching the 21500 turbo 8PSK or 22500 turbo QPSK. You can read others experiences on other boards. Need to get your PC equipped with a sat TV board, I guess. I bet majortom knows about this.

The Genpix Skywalker can do 22500 turbo QPSK to catch all the locals on 77 degrees.

Thank you.

These ITC seem to be gone now, confirm?

cyberham · 2012-03-13, 09:04 AM

11 to 13 in Post #47 still ITC. But others are long gone.

Kraven · 2012-03-13, 09:34 AM

TMK, its gone the way of the doo-doo bird.

Cheers, K

I guess from time to time, there continue to be changes with some of the ITC channels on this satellite.

Question for the board -- what are CONUS feeds? Do you need to do anything to receive them should the channels become ITC.

I think of TP 12545 R 20000 as an example -- for some reason there seem to be channels there -- Lyngsat says they are test cards -- dish slates? Has anyone had a look at them?

Simonizer · 2012-04-12, 03:57 PM

CONUS just means CONtinental United States - the feed is available across all of the US (and areas like Southern Ontario of course). Other channels are spot beamed to certain areas, especially the network affiliates, which are sent only to the city and surrounding area it is supposed to serve. Spot beam technology allows the providers to maximize the use of its satellite capacity.

No matter how big your dish is, you can't receive a spot beam if you are out of its footprint.

Thanks Cyberham -- duly noted.
